To Bay Area dwellers, wine drinking is more than a mere pastime — it's a lifestyle. Which is why we're stoked to join fellow winos at the Bluxome Street May Meet Market this coming Saturday. The Bluxome Street Winery will be pouring its pinots and chardonnays, whilst you bounce between the local food artisans, including Luke's Local and McVicker Pickles.

Grease Sing-A-Long At Castro Theatre
No introduction needed, and possibly the coolest event in the city: The Castro Theatre's Grease Sing-A-Long. Because you could never tire from watching your very first crush (Travolta, obvi) and his hopelessly devoted babe belt out "Summer Lovin'" on the big screen! You will no doubt be crooning the lyrics that we all know and love, and maybe even get some cardio in with those '50s dance moves. Polyester onesie and leather bomber jacket not included.
When: Sunday, May 26, 2:30 and 8 p.m.
Where:Castro Theatre, 429 Castro Street (between 17th and 18th streets); 415-621-6120.
